Working with Rose & Timber was great! They were responsive and easy to work with from the start. Sam answered all my questions and took the time to understand what my priorities were when weighing how to move forward. The new roof looks so good! I’d definitely recommend them.
We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our new roof. Sam and his team were on top of it with their communication and commitment to a quality product from start to finish. Sam provided a hands-on approach throughout the process, letting us know next steps and providing realistic timelines. We knew replacing an aging tile roof would be quite the undertaking, with the majority of the plywood on the roof needing to be replaced along with some rotting wood in various spots. The team took it in stride and tackled each obstacle every day. I can't express how grateful I was for the honest communication and realistic timelines, as those traits tend to be lacking with GCs. Sam and his team (a great group of guys) are exceptional. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a new roof.
Rose and Timber is a top-notch roofing company. Sam and his crew are knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and went above and beyond from tear-off to clean-up. If and when you need a new roof, this is your team!
Roof Replacement FAQs
Here are the most common questions about roofing and our other services, with their corresponding answers:
How do I know if I need roof replacement or roof repair?
The best way to know is to have your roof assessed. If the issue is isolated, repair may be enough. If there is widespread wear, repeated leaking, damaged shingles, soft decking, or problems that keep coming back, replacement may be the better long-term option
How much does roof replacement cost?
The cost of a roof replacement depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the existing roof, the materials used, access to the home, ventilation needs, and whether any damaged decking needs to be replaced. We provide a written estimate so you can understand what is included and what the costs are for.
What does a roof replacement include?
A roof replacement may include removing the existing roofing, checking the roof deck, replacing damaged wood, installing underlayment, updating flashing, reviewing ventilation, installing new architectural asphalt shingles, and cleaning up the work area.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Many residential roof replacements can be completed in a few days, depending on the size of the home, weather, access, and whether any repairs are needed underneath the existing roof.
What type of roofing do you install?
We focus on residential architectural asphalt shingle roofing for Portland-area homes.
Do you offer free roof replacement estimates?
Yes. We offer free roof replacement estimates for homeowners in Portland and surrounding communities.
How do you determine what ventilation a home needs, and why is proper ventilation important?
Every home is a little different, so we start by looking at the entire attic and size of home, not just the vents on the roof. We consider the size and layout, check that there’s enough intake through the soffits, and determine how much exhaust ventilation is needed near the roof’s peak. The goal is simple: bring fresh air in low and allow warm, moisture-filled air to escape at the top.
When heat gets trapped in the attic, it can make the entire home harder to cool. During the wetter months, trapped moisture can also lead to avoidable issues and a roof that wears out sooner than it should. A well-balanced ventilation system protects your home and gives your roof the best chance at a long life.
What are some of the most common roofing installation mistakes you see?
One of the most common issues we see is flashing that’s installed incorrectly (or missing altogether) where the roof meets a wall or chimney. These areas need extra attention because they’re especially vulnerable to water intrusion. If the flashing isn’t done properly, water can work its way behind the roofing materials and cause leaks, rot, and other hidden damage over time. Getting these details right is a big part of installing a roof that truly protects the home.
How much life can I expect from a new roof?
A properly installed architectural asphalt shingle roof can typically last 25 years or more. A metal roof costs considerably more upfront, but it can provide 40–50 years of service or longer.
The actual lifespan of any roof depends on the quality of the installation, attic ventilation, weather exposure, and ongoing maintenance. Choosing the right material is important, but making sure it’s installed correctly is what gives your roof the best chance of reaching its full lifespan.
How much does installation quality matter compared with the brand of shingle?
The brand of shingle matters, but the quality of the installation matters even more. You can buy the best shingle on the market, but it won’t perform the way it should if it isn’t installed correctly.
Details like using the right number of nails, placing them correctly, installing flashing and underlayment properly, and providing balanced ventilation all play a major role in how well your roof protects your home. Proper installation also helps keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact. Ultimately, a good roofing product is only as reliable as the team installing it.
How long will my roof replacement take?
Most roof replacements take about three to five days. The exact timeline depends on the size and complexity of the roof, the weather, and whether we uncover any damaged wood that needs to be replaced. Before work begins, we’ll walk you through the expected schedule and keep you updated throughout the project.
